How do I get a Liquor License?

Got this question the other day. Here's the answer.

You need to go through your state/Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

Go to the Business.gov website and click on "Register, Licenses and Permits", enter the zip code for your business and "restaurant" as the business type.

This will get you information on your state's licensing procedures, including requirements, guidelines, application and instructions. Scroll down until you see the link for "Alcohol Beverage Licenses". Most states have application forms online that you can download. Fill it out and submit
